Abstract

An inventory of polychaete species is presented from the north-east coast of Tunisia with an historic review of the previous literature from Tunisian coasts. Altogether 40 families, 146 genera, and 238 species are currently known from the area, of which 86 taxa, 4 families (Chrysopetalidae, Pilargidae, Protodrilidae and Saccocirridae) and 40 genera (Saccocirrus, Protodrilus, Parathele- pus, , Petta, Isolda, Brada, Tharyx, Paraprionospio, Jasmineira, Hypsicomus, Euchone, Pseudobranchiomma, Laonome, Galathowenia, Lugia, Pseudomystides, Protomystides, Pirakia, Mysta, Eurysyllis, Parapionosyllis, Streptosyllis, Paraehlersia, Si- gambra, Ancistrosyllis, Kefersteinia, Chrysopetalum, Bhawania, Fimbriosthenelais, Subadyte, Panthalis, Dorvillea, Scalibregma, Paradoneis, Cirrophorus, Metasychis, Websterinereis, Euniphysa and Mastobranchus) are new additions to the polychaete fauna of Tunisia. The list, which provides a synthesis of the regional taxonomic work, including coastal areas from Sidi Daoud to the area of Menzel Hurr (Cap Bon Peninsula, Western Mediterranean Sea), can serve as a baseline for future studies.

Keywords: , Tunisian coasts, new species, Western Mediterranean.

The checklist includes literature records since area, such as, Fauvel (1940), Bellan (1961, 1964), Lau- McIntosh (1912), and includes the results of a taxonomic bier (1966), Amoureux (1973), Ramos (1976), Zibrowius and ecological study carried out in the Cap Bon Penin- (1978) and Castelli et al.

In Tunisia, there have been a few polychaete studies such as McIntosh (1912), Fauvel (1924 a, b), Zibrowius, (1970-1971), Bellan (1961), Westheide (1971 & 1972) Materials and Μethods and Cantone et al.
